Hey, did you hear?!
The second Great Depression is near.
Stimulate the economy
Put us more in debt, can’t you see?
Foreclosing homes
Gas prices so high
All we want are answers
All we get are lies
GD2
Are you ready for it?
Are you ready for it?
Don’t know what to do
Are you ready for it?
GD2
Are you ready for it?
Are you ready for it?
Don’t know what to do
Are you ready for it?
Keeping the same wages
How can people live?
When everything is
So expensive
Close the factories
Take to the streets
So many people
Don’t want to see
Keep away from saying
We’re in a recession
Let’s welcome the
Second Great Depression
GD2
Are you ready for it?
Are you ready for it?
Don’t know what to do
Are you ready for it?
GD2
Are you ready for it?
Are you ready for it?
Don’t know what to do
Are you ready for it?
Thanks to the policies that govern our days
None of us ever have a say
Politicians have no clue what to do
But I guess that’s not something new
People can’t afford food, a roof on their head
The government couldn’t care less instead
They make the laws that bring us down
And then they want to run us out of town
Thanks to the policies that govern our days
None of us ever have a say

And then they want to run us out of town

Back and Forth
03:36
|
|||
We don’t talk for a little bit of time
And then you fade slightly from my mind
Wish thinking of you was something I didn’t do
What a waste of time
She’s always so up and down
With us, it’s back and forth
I know I’m not that important
But I want to be around
And what’s up with these games?
That you love to play
My heart, it can’t help it
Why do I hold out hope?
Thought you’d be perfect for me
You being held in such esteem
I want to hold your hand
You get me, you understand
And you keep looking for better
I’d move mountains just to be together
I’m not the best, I tried my best
I wish your heart would agree
We don’t talk for a little bit of time
And then you fade slightly from my mind
Wish thinking of you was something I didn’t do
What a waste of time
That time when things were fine
Seeing you made my night
You smiled and looked my way
Wanted to see you everyday
Maybe I should let it go
It’d be better to be alone
And when you pop into my head
I’ll think about something else instead
I wish I could change your mind
And share some of your time
There’s no reason for me to stay
When you don’t feel the same
I hold on to what we had
Even though it makes me sad
I’m glad that I took that chance
When I asked you to dance
Remember when it felt nice
When things just seemed right
The look I saw in those eyes
The way you looked that night
It took a lot to ask you on a date
Because I thought that you were great
Years went by before I planted that kiss
So many things that I will miss
We don’t talk for a little bit of time
And then you fade slightly from my mind
Wish thinking of you was something I didn’t do
What a waste of time
Back and forth
Back and forth
Back and forth
Back and forth

Everything is Different
03:11

Jump through the hoops
Take a look at your life
What the hell is wrong?
What the hell is right?
Here we are now, the time
Is ticking by
So many questions…
Who, what, where, when and why?
Everything is different
We’re not kids anymore
This happens around every corner
That’s what life has in store
Let’s get to the top
And push down everyone in our way
Everything’s a struggle
Something we experience every day
Stress and problems adding up
The kind of stuff that makes us tough
Anxiety, how are you?
The kind of stuff, we don’t know what to do
Getting older’s killing me
Let’s go back to how it used to be
Wanting to stay up late
Or wanting to go out and play
Thinking back to a few years ago
Wasting time at another punk/ska show
Wait, that’s still who I am
I don’t really give a damn
I should accept how things progress
And not get so stressed
There is so much to life
Everything will be alright
Jump through the hoops
Take a look at your life
What the hell is wrong?
What the hell is right?
Here we are now, the time
Is ticking by
So many questions…
Who, what, where, when and why?
Everything is different
We’re not kids anymore
This happens around every corner
That’s what life has in store
Let’s get to the top
And push down everyone in our way
Everything’s a struggle
Something we experience every day

This Stagnant Place
03:33

This stagnant place
Grew into a disgrace
Far behind everyone in the world
Our dominance has unfurled
Fill up on routine
To churn out things we have seen
Your productivity’s thrown out the door
Stagnation, settled for
Cookie-cutter way of thinking
Never helped anyone
Mediocrity in the city
Overrun
Similarities of things
That came before
Bland, drab and useless
We can’t take anymore
…in this stagnant place
We put up with the same
And get comfortable for the ride
Don’t settle for the worst
And quelch your creative side
Make that mind move
Come up with something fresh
We can’t wait to see what happens
And what will come next
Cookie-cutter way of thinking
Never helped anyone
Mediocrity in the city
Overrun
Similarities of things
That came before
Bland, drab and useless
We can’t take anymore
We run around,
We run this race
…in this stagnant place
Make it new,
Make it great
…in this stagnant place
Leave your mark,
Leave a trace
…in this stagnant place
Do it now,
Before it’s late
…in this stagnant place
We run around,
We run this race
…in this stagnant place
Make it new,
Make it great
…in this stagnant place
Cookie-cutter way of thinking
Never helped anyone
Mediocrity in the city
Overrun
Similarities of things
That came before
Bland, drab and useless
We can’t take anymore
In this stagnant place!
In this stagnant place!
In this stagnant place!
In this stagnant place!

Overtime
03:49
|

Indebted to employers
Tied down to a job
The entire workforce
Is one angry mob
Play by the rules
And do what they say
To be a good employee
Every single day
Looking for that money
That never seems to come
Clamoring for that chance
To have a little fun
Here we go again
Yet another year
All this time spent
In the name of a career
Got to work some overtime
Just to pay the bills
The chances are dwindling
Of enjoying life’s thrills
Every penny matters
You’ve got to save us to survive
Looking for an income
Just to stay alive
We are always tired
And never want to go out
Want to stand on a corner
And hear myself shout
Servants to the dollar
That’s what we’ve become
Get away from that idea
That your mind has spun
Now we’re at the point
Where there’s no turning back
We have to set ourselves up
And plan for the attack
We are always miserable
And we’re going out of our minds
Just to make some money
Have to work that overtime
Got to work some overtime
Just to pay the bills
The chances are dwindling
Of enjoying life’s thrills
Every penny matters
You’ve got to save us to survive
Looking for an income
Just to stay alive
Time, we don’t know what we did with it
Every single day, you would like to quit
The strength and perseverance brought you to this point
Working hard is your only choice
Busy, that’s what we all are
Put in the time, you think you’ll get far
Optimists, pessimists, two sides to the coin
Part of a workforce we unwillingly joined
Sleep, so you can formulate those dreams
You’re too busy to see the in-between
Pass out for days, reached the end of your rope
The thought of it being better, just to hold out hope
Energy, it’s slowly going away
None of us thought that we’d ever see the day
Didn’t have to sleep, could have stayed up all night
The days are flying by, this thing we call life
Indebted to employers
Tied down to a job
The entire workforce
Is on angry mob
Here we go again
Yet another year
All this time spent
In the name of a career

Question
04:15
|
|||
The difference between
The quizzical change
Is what would happen
When you feel deranged
Question the world
And make it a point
To take a stand
And raise your voice
Sitting in
The driveway
Another humid night
We go and
Tell each other
That everything is fine
Our minds
Start racing
And we question ourselves
The different
Emotions
That we have felt
The difference between
The quizzical change
Is what would happen
When you feel deranged
Question the world
And make it a point
To take a stand
And raise your voice
Standing on
The rooftop
On the Brooklyn side
Wonder why
It’s a struggle
For that peace of mind
It’s difficult
For what
You want to achieve
And when things
Are going right
It’s hard to believe
We’re about to question the…
We’re about to question the…
We’re about to question the…world.
We’re about to question the…
We’re about to question the…
We’re about to question the…world.
We’re about to question the…
We’re about to question the…
We’re about to question the…world.
We’re about to question the…
We’re about to question the…
We’re about to question the…world.
Hanging out
At your place
A rainy afternoon
How were
We to know
That we would age so soon?
Everyone’s
Attitudes
Acting in desperation
That nagging
Feeling
Of being frustrated!
The difference between
The quizzical change
Is what would happen
When you feel deranged
Question the world
And make it a point
To take a stand
And raise your voice
